The song "Under Mi Sleng Teng Remix" by Wayne Smith is a reggae track that talks about the use of marijuana or sensi in Jamaican slang. The title of the song refers to the popular electronic riddim "Sleng Teng" that was created by Wayne Smith and Noel Davey in 1985. It was the first fully electronic riddim in Jamaican music and revolutionized the genre. In the lyrics, Wayne Smith talks about the effects of smoking marijuana and how it's a way to relax and escape from the realities of life.
The chorus of the song "Under Mi Sleng Teng" refers to being under the influence of the Sleng Teng riddim and how it makes him feel. Smoking marijuana helps him to escape from the troubles of everyday life and find peace of mind. The line "Way in my brain, no cocaine" refers to how he chooses marijuana over cocaine as a way to cope with stress. Wayne Smith also talks about his experiences growing and processing marijuana, saying that he makes his own 'ash oil' which he stores in barrels to prevent it from spoiling.
The song is a testament to the significance of marijuana in Jamaican culture and how it's used as a way to cope with the harsh realities of life. It's also a nod to the revolutionary Sleng Teng riddim that changed the sound of Jamaican music forever.

This track is absolutely incredible over a good sound system. Honestly, it's less a song and more of an experience when heard through a powerful sound system.
